Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Whakatu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
