Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Hutt Central building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
