Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Kotemaori building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
