What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Waiohiki building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
