The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Wellington Central building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

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