What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Karori building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
