The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Wellington Central building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
