Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Korokoro building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were 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 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
