Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing 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 has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Pakowhai building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
