Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Pakipaki building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
