Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Upper Hutt building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
