What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Upper Hutt building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
