Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
