Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Pakipaki building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
