What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Karori building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house 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.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
