The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Pakowhai building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
