The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Waipatu building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
