What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Heretaunga building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

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 between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
