Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken 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 problems and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
