Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Waitangirua building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
