The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

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

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Pakowhai building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
