Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Pakipaki building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
