Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Karori building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
