Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Pakowhai building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
