The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Hutt Central building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
