What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Haumoana building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or 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 the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
