Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Kaiwharawhara building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
