The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
