The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Kotemaori building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
