Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Papakowhai building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
