What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Pauatahanui building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
