Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Karori building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.
