Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Kotemaori building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Kotemaori

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
