The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Kaiwharawhara building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
