What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Upper Hutt building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
