The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Haumoana building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
