Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Whakatu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
