The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Korokoro building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Korokoro

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home 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, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
