The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
