The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Pauatahanui building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
