What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
