Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Korokoro building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
