Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Whakatu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications 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.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
