Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Pakowhai building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
