Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Pukahu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed 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, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
