Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Heretaunga building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
