The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Maoribank building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
