Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Pauatahanui building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
