Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Whakatu building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
