The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Havelock North Central building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
