The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued 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. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could 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 best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
