The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Waitangirua building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
