Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Maoribank building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
