The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Pauatahanui building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or 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: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
