What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Karori building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
