The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Pauatahanui building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
