What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
