What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Maungaraki building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
