The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Whakatu building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
