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 reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Heretaunga building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
