The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Papakowhai building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
