Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are 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 professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Whakatu building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
