What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Wellington building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.

Does this change require permission from the building? Complete building inspection reports can uncover what building work has and hasn't got a building permit.
