The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Maoribank building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
