Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

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

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Karori building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
