Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Korokoro building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
