The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Haumoana building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
