The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Hawkes Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
