Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Wellington Central building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home 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 piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
