What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Waiohiki building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
