Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Karori building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
