Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Pauatahanui building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are 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: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
