Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Waipatu building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
