The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Karori building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
