Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Upper Hutt building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant 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 any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
