What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Karori building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
