The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Waitangirua building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
