The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Havelock North Central building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
