The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Upper Hutt building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

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

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
