What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Upper Hutt building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
