Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
