The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Pauatahanui building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
