Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Heretaunga building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
