What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
