What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
