Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Hawkes Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
