What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Upper Hutt building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household 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. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
