The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Karori building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
