The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Papakowhai building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
