Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Maupuia building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
