What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Waitangirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
