Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Ahuriri building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
