Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Pukahu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
