Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
