Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Karori building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
