What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
