Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Pukahu building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
