The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
