What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Papakowhai building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
