Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Waitangirua building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
