What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Pakowhai building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from 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

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
