The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Pukerua Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
