The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Heretaunga building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
