The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Maoribank building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
