Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Waitangirua building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
