The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Karori building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
