Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Wellington Central building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
