The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Wellington building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
