The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Karori building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed 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: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
