What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
