Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Hutt Central building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
