Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Pukerua Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
