The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Wellington Central building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
