Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Havelock North Central building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built 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, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
