What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Korokoro building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair, 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 piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
