What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Pauatahanui building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages 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 may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
