Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Whakatu building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
