Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Upper Hutt building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
