Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Kotemaori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
