Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Pukerua Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
