Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Karori building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
