Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Pauatahanui building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
