Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Kaiwharawhara building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
