The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
