What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Pauatahanui building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
