What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Pukerua Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
