The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Karori building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
