Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Pakowhai building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
