What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Waipatu building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
