The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might 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 to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
