Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Pukahu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
