What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Pauatahanui building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
