Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Pakipaki building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the 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, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
