Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Waiwhetu building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built 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, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
