Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Pukahu building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
