The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Ahuriri building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
