The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Maoribank building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the 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 that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
