What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Karori building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
