The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Karori building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
