What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Upper Hutt building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
