Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Maungaraki building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent 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 that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
