The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Heretaunga building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
