Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Whakatu building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
