Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Pauatahanui building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
