The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Korokoro building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
