Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Wainuiomata building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to 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.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
