The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in 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 indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Wellington

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
