Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
