Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
