The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Pukahu building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
