Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Pukahu building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
