Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Korokoro building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
