Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Papakowhai building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
