Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Pakipaki building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
