Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Karori building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
