The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Haumoana building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
