Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Pukahu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
