Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Karori building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences.
