What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Hutt Central building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
