What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Heretaunga building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
