Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Karori building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
