What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Waitangirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into 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 mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
