Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
