The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Waipatu building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
