Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is 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 inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Maraenui building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
