What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Havelock North Central building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
