Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Whakatu building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed 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: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
