What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Pakowhai building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
