Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Wellington building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
