The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Whakatu building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built 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 pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
