What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Wainuiomata building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
