Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Waipatu building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects 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 building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
