Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Heretaunga building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
