Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Pauatahanui building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house 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, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
