The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Pauatahanui building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
