What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
