The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could 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 prepared by an qualified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
