Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Maraenui building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
