Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

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 expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Maupuia building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
