The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Ahuriri building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
