Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Whakatu building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
