Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Kotemaori building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
