What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Karori building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
