What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
