Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Pakowhai building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. 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 built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
