The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Karori building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
