What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Karori building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
