Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Kaiwharawhara building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re 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: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
