What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Wellington Central building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
