The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Wellington Central building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in 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 cost of removal.
