The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Pakowhai building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
