The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Maungaraki building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
