The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Pakowhai building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
