The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one 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. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Pakowhai building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
