The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Maupuia building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
