Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Wainuiomata building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
