What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Wellington Central building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
