What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Kotemaori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
