Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Waiwhetu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
