Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Pauatahanui building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
