Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Karori building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
