The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Wellington building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
