Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Wellington building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
