The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Ahuriri building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
