What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Pukahu building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
