Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Wellington Central building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
