What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

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

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Pakipaki building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
