Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Karori building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
