Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
