Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Heretaunga building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
