Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Waiohiki building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
