Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Wainuiomata building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
