The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Pakipaki building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
