The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Wellington Central building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
