The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Karori building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building 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

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
