The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Whakatu building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
