Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Heretaunga building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
