The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Kotemaori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
