Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
