The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Pauatahanui building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
