Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Waiohiki building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
