Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
