The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Karori building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
