Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Whakatu building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
