The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Wellington building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
