Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Karori building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home 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 A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
