What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Wellington building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
