Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Ahuriri building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten 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 the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
