Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Maoribank building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
