The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Waitangirua building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
