Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Maupuia building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
