Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Waitangirua building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
