What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Hawkes Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: 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 won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
