The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Pukerua Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
