Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

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