Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
