Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Havelock North Central building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
