Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Maupuia building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built 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, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
