Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Maupuia building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
