Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Pakipaki building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
