What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Heretaunga building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
