Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Upper Hutt building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

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

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
