What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Karori building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
