Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Waiwhetu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
