The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Wellington Central building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
