What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important
Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?
If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.
A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Heretaunga building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.
We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
Red Flags & Warning Signs
Each of these could be costly to solve:
Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.
Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.
Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.
Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
