The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Karori building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
