Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Karori building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
