Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
