Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

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

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
