Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
