The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Ahuriri building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
