Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Waitangirua building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
