The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Karori building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
