What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Karori building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to 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 cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
