Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Kotemaori building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
