The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Heretaunga building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
