Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Papakowhai building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
