Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Karori building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
