Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Lower Hutt building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
