Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your 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 pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
