The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim 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 the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
