The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building 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.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
