Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Maungaraki building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
