Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Waitangirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
