Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Ahuriri building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
