The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
