What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
