Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Heretaunga building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
