Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Maungaraki building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
