What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Hawkes Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
