The Reasons Why 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 reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Pakipaki building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
