Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Upper Hutt building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: 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 products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
