Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Waitangirua building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
