Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Papakowhai building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
