What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Haumoana building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
