What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of 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 deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
