Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Pauatahanui building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
