Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Waipatu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
