Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Karori building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
