What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
