What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed 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: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
