The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a 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. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
