What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Pauatahanui building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
