Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Pakowhai building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
