What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Whakatu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
