What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Heretaunga building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
