The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Lower Hutt building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
