Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Pukerua Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
