The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Haumoana building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
