What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Pauatahanui building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
