Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Upper Hutt building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
