The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Maungaraki building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building 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 search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
