Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Haumoana building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
