Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Karori building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
