Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Waiwhetu

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
