Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

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 the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
