Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Heretaunga building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
