What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Papakowhai building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
