What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Heretaunga building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
