Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Korokoro building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
