What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Waiwhetu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
