Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Hutt Central building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
