Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Whakatu building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
