Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Ahuriri building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
