Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Whakatu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
