Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Pukerua Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of 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 might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
