Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Papakowhai building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
