What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Karori building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
