What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Waiwhetu building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
