The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Wainuiomata building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "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 could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
