What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Karori building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
