Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Karori building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed 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 pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
