Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Kaiwharawhara building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
