Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Pakowhai building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred 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: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
