Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Pauatahanui building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
