Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until 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 siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
