The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Karori building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Karori

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
