The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Maupuia building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
