What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from 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 assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be 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 would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
