The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Pukahu building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
