The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Pukerua Bay building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
