Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Pauatahanui building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
