The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Kaiwharawhara building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking 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 and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
