Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Haumoana building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
