Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
