Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Upper Hutt building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to 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 homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
