The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Karori building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
