What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Whakatu building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
