Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Waiohiki building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

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