The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
