The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Maungaraki building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
