Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Haumoana building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
