Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Waitangirua building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
