Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Maoribank building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

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

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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 have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
