Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Waitangirua building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or 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: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
