Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are 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 can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
