What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Karori building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
