What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
