Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Pauatahanui building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
