Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Haumoana building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
