The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Waiohiki building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
