What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

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

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Mohaka building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
