What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Karori building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
