The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Korokoro building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

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