The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Waipawa building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Waipawa

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
