Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Ahuriri building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
