Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Maupuia building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
