Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Wellington building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed 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, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
