What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Hutt Central building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
