Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Hutt Central building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
