Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Pukahu building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
