What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
