What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Karori building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
