The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Waipawa building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
