Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Pauatahanui building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
