Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Maupuia building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
