Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Korokoro building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
