What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Pauatahanui building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
