Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Pauatahanui building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
