Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Waiohiki building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
