What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Heretaunga building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
