What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
