The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Waiohiki building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
