Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Heretaunga building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home 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 pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
