Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
