Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Pauatahanui building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
