Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Pauatahanui building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
