What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Haumoana building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
