The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Korokoro building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
