Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Kotemaori building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
