Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Pakipaki building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
