If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Wellington Central building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
