Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Ahuriri building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
