The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Karori building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
