The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, 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 expert friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Pauatahanui building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
