The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Maungaraki building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
