What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Pakowhai building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and 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: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
