Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Pakowhai building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
