The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Maungaraki building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
