What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Upper Hutt building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
