Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
