What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Karori building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
