Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Heretaunga building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
