Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Waiohiki building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: 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 a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
