Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Upper Hutt building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing.
