Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Whakatu building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
