Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Korokoro building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
