The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Upper Hutt building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
