The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Heretaunga building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
