The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
