What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Maoribank building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
