The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household 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 pipe when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
