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 reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Maraenui building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
