What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
