Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Kaiwharawhara building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
