Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

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

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Havelock North Central building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
