Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Maungaraki building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any 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.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
