What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Heretaunga building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
