The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Wellington building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
