What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Karori building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
