What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Karori building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
