What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Wellington Central building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
