What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Maoribank building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
