The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Waiohiki building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
