The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
