What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Upper Hutt building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
