What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Pakipaki building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
