Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
