Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Pauatahanui building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
