Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Papakowhai building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
