Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Pakipaki building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
