Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Kotemaori building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: 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.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
