What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Waiohiki building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
