What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Pukerua Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
