The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Waiohiki building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the 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: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
