The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Papakowhai building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
