The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Pauatahanui building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
