Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Maungaraki building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
