The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house 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.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
