Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Kaiwharawhara building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be 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 could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
