The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
