What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Heretaunga building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
