The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Pakowhai building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
