Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Maoribank building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with 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 house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
