What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
