Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Waiwhetu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
