The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Pakowhai building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
