What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Upper Hutt building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
