Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Upper Hutt building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences.
