Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Heretaunga building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
