Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Waitangirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
