What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Pauatahanui building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are 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 can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
