What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Lower Hutt building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
