What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Wellington Central building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
