Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Pauatahanui building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
