The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Maraenui building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
