Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

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 well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Pakowhai building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
