The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Waipawa building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
