The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Maoribank building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

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

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
