What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
