What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home 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 your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
