The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Waiohiki building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
