What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Ahuriri building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
