The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
