Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Ahuriri building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
