Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Pauatahanui building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
