Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Whakatu building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
