Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Upper Hutt building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
