What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Upper Hutt building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
