The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Pauatahanui building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
