Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Pakipaki building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
