Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Heretaunga building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
