Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Wellington building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
