Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Whakatu building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in need of repair 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.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
