Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Waipatu building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
