What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Maoribank building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
