Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Upper Hutt building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and 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 the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
