Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, 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 building inspection report from an qualified Waipatu building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
