Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Korokoro building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
