Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Wellington building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems 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 moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
