The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Waipawa building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
