Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Waipukurau building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
