What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until 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: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
