Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Papakowhai building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
