What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Papakowhai building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
