What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Pauatahanui building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
