Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
