What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Wellington Central building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
