The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Wellington Central building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
