Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Papakowhai building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
