Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Waipatu building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten 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 house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
