The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
