The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Waiohiki building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
