Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Karori building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
