The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Waiwhetu

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
