Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Waitangirua building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
