The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Upper Hutt building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
