The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Papakowhai building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
