The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing.
