Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Papakowhai building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
