What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, 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 by a certified Ahuriri building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
