Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Maoribank building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: 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: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
