What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Waiohiki building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
