Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Wellington Central building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
