Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Papakowhai building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
