Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Waitangirua building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
