Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
