Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Waipatu building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
