The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Whakatu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
