If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Upper Hutt building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
