Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Kotemaori building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a 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 any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
