Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Ahuriri 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 house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten 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 piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
