What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Maoribank building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
