Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Karori building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
