Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Waiwhetu

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
