Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
