The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Karori building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
