What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Karori building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
