Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Korokoro building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
