What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Waitangirua building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
