The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Maungaraki building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
