Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
