Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Karori building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
