What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Karori building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten 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 piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: 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 found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
