Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
