Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Pauatahanui building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed 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.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
