Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Maungaraki building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
