Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
