Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Pauatahanui building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
