Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Papakowhai building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
