The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Whakatu building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
